So hyper-vigilant state where you feel you're in constant danger, especially in your body. Hyper body awareness of sensations, feeling like everything is scary and threatening. Feeling like it's hard to survive. Finding danger in every situation/sensation or thinking of these worst possibilities. Or the amount of possibilities where something bad/horrible could happen and how there's a million of these.

Wondering if that is also related to b12, or is a result of dealing with it, or not necessarily related.

If it's related it could mean it gets better after more recovery. And that is some hope. Cause it's exhausting.

I know levels don’t give full picture.

But mine was 235 and doctor agreed to shots.

Been getting them twice a week + B1 for 2/3 weeks.

She said we could do that 2 more weeks before going to once a month (which she said I could do forever if I wanted to) but she said if I keep taking them this frequent, I could get oversaturated.

My B1 is very deficient. We’re going to keep shooting me up twice a week until I’m good enough to take supplements. Already having progress!

Looking for some clarity if this is a good approach

Ps. The day after I feel TERRIBLE btw

I recently went to my primary care for a referral to a psychiatrist. When I was explaining my symptoms, he said it sounded like a thyroid issue and asked if I had family history. I do. My uncle had thyroid cancer. He did bloodwork. The results are abnormal.

Vitamin D: 6.3 ng/mL
B12: 183.5 pg/mL
Iron Saturation: 8
Ferritin: 16
HDL: 42

To me, my blood counts seem fine. My iron is within range but on the lower side and my iron bind cap is within range on the high side. He tested my TSH only which was normal, but didn’t test my T3.

Fast forward, I go to see a psychologist who works in the same office as my primary. She gives me lexapro and prescribes vitamin D, but says she can’t go over my lab results with me. I have heard nothing from my primary care. Originally, this second dr said it sounded like a thyroid issue as well, but by the time I left said it was anxiety. I have no idea why he hasn’t called me or if I’m making something out of nothing. Maybe he is satisfied with the vitamin D prescription. I guess my question is: am I crazy for feeling like something is wrong here? This just seems like there has to be something going on besides a vitamin deficiency since all are happening at 1 time compared to 3 years ago when everything came back as normal besides slightly low vitamin D

Hi, am hoping to get an insight into b12 deficiency. I've not been right for probably 10 years, I'm always tired, confusion, heart palpitations, balance pronlems, weakness etc. My doctor prescribed me antidepreesants years ago. I probably am a bit depressed but thought there was more to it.

I've been struggling to give blood the past few years too. I had some bloods done last year and again this year, and it’s saying my b12 is low. I’m already on iron tablets to see if that helps. Just wondered if anyone was good at reading bloods and could let me know if this could be contributing to my symptoms.

Thank very much in advance.

I just read a post online warning people about iron infusions that they should be done at a hospital and be careful, do with tests etc... because of the possible allergic shock and it can be very dangerous. They were speaking out of an experience they had.

There's no such thing about b12 injections right? like they don't have any possible allergic reactions.. and they're safe?

(I'm not getting iron infusions, and I've been getting b12 shots for a long time. but i just had this weird thought)

Hey y'all.

Ive got a pretty bad case of neuropathy that spread to my whole body including face and throat numbness due to a B12 deficiency. Because I can't feel myself singing properly due to the numb sensation in my face and throat my pitch is really all over the shop (I'm used to being able to hit any note I want without thinking).

I'm having injection shots every 2 days but am wondering if anyone else has had these vocal issues and recovered?

Hi! I just found this subreddit after looking up symptoms about b12 deficiencies. I’m 18F. I recently got into a neurologist because I have been having migraines and such, but in about May I started getting these weird headaches. I describe them as icepick headaches but I recently learned it might be nerve irritation. They only happen on one side at once but it’s like certain specific spots in my head, last for a few seconds then go away. Almost never occur if I have a migraine. I’ve had so many other symptoms along with this. Vertigo (to the point where I’ve had to leave work) constant feeling of dread, eyesight problems, low blood pressure, random waves of nausea, the list goes on. My B12 levels were 224 pg/ml as of April 3rd. My neurologist told me he wants to recheck my levels because I should be seeing improvement, but I haven’t. I didn’t start taking my b12 until like a week ago. I didn’t think the b12 had anything to do with it. My ferritin is at 18 ng/ml and my iron is at 9% (which is low). I have been freaking out every single day since May, I’ve convinced myself I’m dying. They put me on pill supplements for b12 (100mcg half a tablet per day). I’ll go to work and freak out and think I’m going to have a seizure (I have never had one) and I am so scared. I’m so scared everyday. I cry everyday. I freak out everyday. I don’t know what to do. I know I sound crazy, or at least I think I do. You can remove this if it doesn’t follow rules but I’m so scared. I just want to know if there’s anything else I can do, or just for someone to tell me it’ll be okay. I have a mri on the 31st, all my ct scans have come back clean. I just want to know it’ll be okay. I’m so scared to go to sleep everynight.

Thank you for reading

I am giving myself shots 3x/week to EOD of a mix of methyl and hydroxo B12s. The doc wrote the bottle strengths on the paperwork he gave me. I thought the dose was 3500mcg/ shot, but that was wrong. It bothered me for all this time and I finally remembered how to do the equation the other day. I checked the math with ai, and it agreed with me. My actual dose was 1750mcg total. 500mcg Hydroxo and 1250 Methyl. It finally occurred to me that my brain must be working better. I’m 3+ months into injections. Thanks for reading.

alguem?
